There are the ship- v it - t aJ w3av yards ana numerous omer war-ucaicu uium tries, and Oregon's basic industries," agricul ture and lumbering, are making maximum contributions.- ; Oregon's war industry is somewhat dwarfed by that of each of its coastal neighbors, Wash ington and California, but is notably heavy in contrast to the allocations given some interior states. ' I.! . . . But it is true that aside from industries which arise naturally from its location and basic re sources, Oregon so far has had to be content with "small potatoes" or else go out and fight for something bigger. This has been done successfully in the case of the alumina-from-clay plant which is under construction here, and it can be done in other matters.- . - " In the case of the Springfield : project, the explanation given for denying allocation, that "the construction of additional new facilities for the production of alcohol cannot be justi- ucu i uus ujuc, uuca iiuv situate wiui uuici information that has come to hand. No doubt the WPB requirements committee has better sources of information than we have but then these federal agencies have been known to be wrong. "''- T Our information is that the synthetic rubber program, the phase of it using ethyl alcohol, has been outstandingly successful, much more so than the phase starting from petroleum but has been limited by a shortage of alcohol. At any rate it is quite in order for Oregon to challenge the denial of need for this plant at Springfield. The process has been tested and found practical beyond any question. If not necessary now, it will be in peacetime and it will be a "must" industry for Oregon. It is one of the things for which Oregon will have to get tin nn it laera and liaM TViat anrtliaa aa well to other industries. . Oregon will have to levrt italf nr r pnntent with "email rwitnte " I i ' J ' i Typewriter rationing is scheduled to end April 22. The army has all the typewriters it' needs to win the war so now there will be more available to amateur strategists who use the keyboard instead of a Garand. Interpreting The War News By KIRKE L. SIMPSON Copyright 144 by the Associated Prers An unprecedented British security move freezing even diplomatic channels in England against in tentional or inadvertent disclosure of military in formation dominated the war news last night. It stripped embassies, legations and consular . tfanMae let TVriol oil imfMiititl! a avi sorship or unrestricted movement of personnel to cover "impending' operations. It gave blunt notice to the world that the hour of Anglo-American sec-end-front invasion of the European continent is drawing near. It came, too, at the moment when by every indication victorious Russian armies are moving into position for a simultaneous two-front ' attack in the east with increasing direct allied air support to carry out Aussian-auiea military com- . mitments exchanged at Teheran. - Moscow advices report the fall of Sevastopol, last nazi foothold in southern Russia, imminent. With its capture the full weight of five mighty Russian armies that have rolled unchecked from the Volga and the Caucasus to the Dnestr and be- yona into xouna ana Rumania will be available - to invade the nazi citadel. They are already bat tering at the Galati Gap gateway to the Balkan pen insula In the south, and massing north of the Car- v pathlana to crash the Lwow barrier to the plains - of western Poland beyond which lies German it- Self. . . r-, . : . . :V -In dose support of the Russian drive at the GalaU-Foesani critical sector of the nazi shriveling , Balkan defense front, allied heavy bombers have stepped up their blasting of every supply life line I of the crumbling nazi defense front from the Car pathian foothills to the Black sea. Repeated allied bombing of the Ploesti road and rail hub of the lower Danube valley, and of Brasov at the north end of the mountain pass above it through which the main Budapest-Bucharest rail road runs, unquestionably represent Joint Russian- . allied staff planning. The same can be said of the - bombardment of Turno Severn, Just below the iron 1 gate of the Danube. The secondary rail connection between Budapest and Bucharest enters the Danube' , valley through that grim mountain-locked portal There are only two other rail threaded passes southward through the Transylvanlan Alps to the great valley of the Danube. That both will feel the weight of allied air attack In Immediate support of the Russian drive converging from three direc tions on the Galati Gap is certain. ; f Not only rail and road connections vital to any prolonged nazi stand on that most remote sector of the whole German continental front call for it; but through the junction points involved runs also , the main Ploesti oil pipe line leading to the iron gate of the Danube where shipments are trans ' f erred to river barges to reach Germany.' Russians ' and allied air power alike are cutting at nasi nat " ural oil arteries in their interlocking Balkan cam :.: paign. - ' . .... j'i ;-.v. Northward up the eastern front Russian capture of Tarnopol has opened the way for the next for ward lunge ot the first Ukrainian army. The cul minating attack on the Lwow gateway to the west ern plains of Poland Is" now possible. : . v A Russian break-through there would intensify German natural oil difficulties. The wells and re ' fineries of Galiicia lie beyond on the northern flank . ; of the mountains. It was In part to seize that sup-' plement to nazi oil sources that Hitler attacked Po land to bring on the struggle which has spread clear. around the world. ; - - Draft on Military? Cj! Highly as we regard Gen. MacArthur as a military man, we are not at all impressed with the effort to draft him as a presidential candi date. His place is on the fighting front. He has done well with the materials and men supplied him. Give him more' and he will redeem his pledge to free the Philippines from the Japs. For that reason we wish he had been more re sponsive with a clean-cut negative to Cong. Miller's invitation that he become; a presiden tial candidate. His reply reveals an apparent willingness to serve, but that has to be read into his letters because it is not stated directly. We must remember that Gen, MacArthur has been out of continental United States for about 10 years, that he was never anything but a soldier. He might be a most Unhappy man if set down in the president's chair and made subject to the barbs and criticisms and the foils and delays and obstructions of politics. Stassen has had more recent political experience, but he should stay on his navy duty There is civil ian material available for republicans without making a manpower draft on the armed forces. News Behind The News i 1 ' By PAUL MALLON . ill ) (Distribution by King Features Syndicate, Ine. Repro duction In whol or la part strictly prohibited.) WASHINGTON, April 17 Dear Newspaper Publisher: . - ! S Watch out for your teacher correspondent. Miss G. She is a type beginning to become familiar to me, the kind trying to turn public attention away from the glaring deficiencies In our educational and youth sys tems by any distraction, pos sible or impossible. I got only as far as her sly; question as quoted in your newspaper: . "Is Mr. Malloni attacking all American schools : and institu tions? i I threw the rest of the clip ping away. I do not bother with that kind, which can only re- paoi atanoa present either Intellectual dis honesty or an inability to read plain, English. To do so would serve their purpose. They well know what the issue is: i 1 The restoration of discipline in both scholar ship and conduct In the .schools. Let them talk and write about that ? if! y. .- r-. ill ' What has happened in education' has become quite clear to me. We went into mass production about 12 to IS years ago. Education got to be big' business, and the classroom an assembly line. - We sacrificed the ideals of workmanship and scholarship to the ideal of numbers. We got to turn ing out three or four times as many students, but they were less than half educated. , How could it be otherwise? The standards natur ally had to be lowered to take in everyone. We even got so low in a few progressive educational schools that today there is no standard either of scholarship or discipline except that established by the children themselves. ' I' !li Grow n-up educators, with apparently adult minds, today openly advocate that every child be passed regardless of his mental capacity so he will not personally be ashamed of his deficiency. Im- i i r ...vu " il .. ' not a Mif AwK'fi ; k ,p- jvr tr'A' ay 1 c V "'-V I J '! i K)Wpf: "One-A'? I t :'-'-"-- Today's! ladio (Pirogirainnis beciles thus fix our standard. Nearly everywhere we have cut our great educational! ideals to some extent to cater to the lowest and the 1 worst of our populace. " ; ;' This sort of thing cannot continue! The people will not stand for it when they see their children not being properly educated, not being taught to think in accordance with their ml ability. Some corrections are obvious. .The restoration of standards Is clearly demanded. It J In colleges, this can easily be done $y abolishing the elective system, allowing educators to fix the courses rather than the students.: This has been started already In California university, and must be followed in the high schools where those of sufficient Intelligence, hoping to go to college must be required to study fundamentals sufficiently to pass college examinations. . j . Also it must be done m grade schools In order to prepare students properly for high! school. For . those capable of learning, our course then is clear. Scholarship can be restored in this way alone. This way also will furnish the beginning of re storation of discipline. Then we will : at least de velop sufficient leaders to handle f out future na tion wisely" in business, politics and economics, for, from -this class of those capable of learning must come our leadership. - J . As for the rest, I am not so certain. I prefer to believe that , the average child in! the United States is in the first class, but 'ome educators tell me different ' ?; . . . If we are developing such a nation of morons so as not to be able to teach our average child the fundamentals of reading, writing and arithmetic if the minds we are spawning are not capable of retaining common education, as some educators say the future of democracy and intelligent decisions by the voting masses' of the people is certainly a hazardous prospect I do not believe these claims can be Justified except with strained statistics, . counting heavily a large class of backwoods illit erates and imbeciles everywhere. ; Si r - But in any case, they must be handled in a spe cial way. We must offer the utmost possible school ing to our least educatable class. It, therefore, must be done In separate classes or separate schools. . - What their little minds think about such classi fication Is not half as important to this nation as the maintenance of scholarship for those able to learn. This country cannot be sacrificed to its mental deficients. . Another step absolutely essential is the restora tion of the right of punishment to. the teachers or principals of all schools. Our youth must be re quired to study and accept a social ' line of dis cipline and conduct established by the majority. Vandalism, hoodlumism, and sloth must be put down by whatever punishment Is X required. ' The standard for punishment should be that it ' must be effective. Parent-Teacher associations must . insist upon this. School boards must: choose high types of men as principals, men capable of dis ciplinary leadership in accordance with modern psychiatric understandings. . ; Abave all: Chase' the crackpots out "- " " i ' Yours sincerely, .-; ' v . .

DIXON ANZIO BEACHHEAD, April 10 DelayedMAVTha nazis never seem to tot of trying new pro paganda tricks on the allied sol diers, but doughboy reaction doesn't go according to the Goeb bels book. Manr t GI radio Is tuned in each night on 'Berlin Sally1, and her- comic opera partner, George, w h o s e . propaganda program is beamed to the boys along tne front But they listen for the mu sic and the laughs, admit that Sal ly has a ' good script . writer, and that's all. The program usually starts with George intoning. In a sepulchral voice the sentence which serves as their theme song: ' - : : "Easy, boys, there's danger ahead." " ; If they think they're scaring the soldiers with that they should hear the GI's joining in on the chorus with George, each dough boy striving to put the most soul shaking vibrations in his voice. But all the soldiers agree that it's a good gag. Just before they list the latest allied ah losses (while bombing Berlin or same other German place) George and Sally play "what goes up must come down or some such touching little piece. The boys like that, too. Before or after reading .the names ox newiy-capturea amea prisoners they play "Don't Get Around Much Any More" or some thing similar. "Nice timing, that," says a sol dier appreciatively, in a profes sional way. But anyone who con siders such stuff effective propa ganda always means it for some one else, not for him. Sally always invites the boys to come up and see her and they all say they'd like to, but they say other things about such a visit which probably would cut her feminine little heart to the core. Besides countless such radio programs,' they drop or snoot propaganda leaflets over the line, just as we do. The nazi leaflets try ; to pit one' ally against an other or one outfit against another I by telling one that the other has failed to support it There are also subtle suggestions that which ever allied nation is in command on a given sector of the front is safe guarding its own men at the ex pense of others. They love to shower down leaf lets on the front line soldier with pictures of dead men hideously maimed, accompanied by com ments such as. this: : - "Moss ox - you are convinced that the war will be over in four monthstoo bad if It should hit you in the last minute .'. - One group ox soldiers sent sev eral of these leaflets back to their divisional rnrnrnanA post with a sgolemn notation that they thought it represented "pretty smart prop "That proves it failed to affect them," said one officer. When one line company picked up German -leaflets saying "what about the Nettuno front? Is the slaughter to be repeated there?" they sent a terse reply saying: "Yes,5 guess who we mean." A leaflet showing a picture of a girl back home making love to another man ; was thrown over with a caption saying unfaithful ness was common back home. "While you are away." One front line replied with its own im promptu leaflet: "You ought to .know. You've been away longer than we have.' . But even the bitterest dough boy got a laugh out of one prop aganda' round that the Germans won. One of our armored units Shot over leaflets saying, "Watch but we're going to attack to night" 1 U Replied the Germans with an i expected sense of humor: "Let us know an hour before jthe attack and well lend you a couple of panzer outfits. We have plenty to handle all your tanks and then some." , " Church Group Elects.
